Okay kids. Here's a friendly little PSA, mostly because I can't keep my mouth shut anymore.

Warning - Explicit Sneak Peak at one small scene of Cracked & Crushed coming here. Along with a some what long-winded tirade because I've sort of had it here.

“I wanna see you bleed a little baby, can I have that?” I asked her. She nodded, eyes welling a bit and I smiled, a wicked cruel curve of lips. She thought I was going to cut her bad. No. Not my thing. I thrust up into her until her eyes slipped shut and her head dipped back. I placed the very point of my blade against the front of her left shoulder beside her collarbone and moved my hips searching for that wonderful place of hers inside. I felt a surge of triumph when I found it and Hayden gave this little broken moan and I struck, nicking her shoulder in a barely there cut about half as wide as her little fingernail. Tiny. Almost not even there.

I let the knife clatter to the bedside table and watched the tiny cut well, ruby red against her peaches and cream skin. I continued to fuck her, my body almost on autopilot, hips surging as I watched the crimson bead slide down her skin. With a groan I covered the tiny cut with my mouth, sweet copper pennies exploding across my tongue. Hayden cried out and spasmed around me. The monster went back into its box. It usually did when it was sated, when the thrill was gone. Hayden’s eyes had become glassy, and I was flying high, drunk off her submission.

For some of you I understand that the above excerpt may hit a trigger or some kind of emotional landmine and I apologize for that. But in an effort to negate any more negative diatribe or any emails expressing disappointment...

THAT'S IT FOLKS.

That. Is. It.

The scene that everyone is freaking the fuck out over is exactly 232 words out of a 110,000 word novel.

I understand when people have personal issues about a piece of content, but there is a vast difference between saying "This book wasn't for me because of XYZ" and exploding about it all over the internet causing so much fear and apprehension my inbox gets flooded with messages telling me how disgusting/depraved/what have you I am over something a fictional character did in a fictional book etc.

Here's the scoop.

Reaver is not all unicorn farts and fluffy rainbows. If people have read the first two books in the series they would know that. If you think something is going to bother you in a book... Just don't buy it. If you are reading one of my books and you dislike it. STOP READING IT AND RETURN IT. Seriously. You won't hurt my feelings. I want you to be happy with the product you buy just like any other responsible, customer service oriented, entrepreneur.

So there you have it. The scene in question that apparently has more than a few people's panties in a bunch.

Again. I love you guys. I really love you but I just couldn't keep quiet anymore. If it bothers you, which I completely understand if it does, don't buy it. If it doesn't, I'm glad and I hope you enjoy the story. THE WHOLE story.

For those of you that want to avoid this book because of this strong theme, I will include a short synopsis of the key points in Cracked & Crushed in the beginning of Book 3.5 and Book 4. Book 3.5 is M/M so if that isn't your thing, you've been warned.

Now try and go out there and have a good rest of your day and sow some positive seeds out in the world so we can make some happy grow.
